Man Sets Out to Rescue Dolphin, Saves Shark Instead

A UK beachgoer in Cornwall who loaned himself and his strength to help what he thought was a beached dolphin was surprised to realize that he'd instead signed on to help a stranded basking shark.

According to The Herald, Nicolas Andre was walking on a quiet part of the coastline when he came upon a couple trying to get a hold of a dolphin's tail. The animal was caught well ashore and was unable to get back to the water on its own.
